The September Century has both a
holiday and a political favor, and APP
peals strongly to current interests,
(" Snubbin Through Jersey" is an ex-
perience in canal life that would be
enjoyed by our Chesapeake & Ohio
friends and neighbors. "The Anna
teur photographer" is an outdoor
life attraction growing into practice
and favor. "The Trainers and Franz
ing of the Constitution is timely
reading in connection with the Phila-
delphia Celebration. The Lincoln
History covers the period begin
ming with the War; its historic value
is enhanced by letters from promi-
nent actors on the stage of strife.
The many other articles and contri-
buttons in the Century, and illustra-

In Brief. And To The Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver, is misery. Indigestion is foe to
good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is one
of the most complicated and wonderful
things in existence. 1t is easily put out
of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,
irregular habits, and many other things
which ought not to be, have made the
American people nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has done a
wonderful work in reforming this sad
business and making the American peo-
pie so healthy that they can enjoy their
meals and be happy.
Remember No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower
brings health and happiness to the dys.
peptic. Ask your druggist for bottle.
